...Haibo Zhang; Izhak Etsion Currently existing finite element (FE) Lagrangian models of elastic–plastic spherical contact are costly in terms of computing time to reach vanishing tangential stiffness at sliding inception. A coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL) model with explicit dynamic analysis...

...D. Cohen; Y. Kligerman; I. Etsion A model for elastic-plastic nominally flat contacting rough surfaces under combined normal and tangential loading with full stick contact condition is presented. The model incorporates an accurate finite element analysis for contact and sliding inception...
